Bullying\u2026Change<\/h2>\n

Read the following essay, written by Antonio, a fourth-grade student.<\/p>\n

The Bully in the Mirror
\nAntonio, 4th Grade<\/strong><\/em>
\n
\nMirror Mirror on the wall why must I be the
\nBully that has to fall. I beat on kids around the school
\nThe mirror told me it wasn\u2019t cool. The mirror told me to change.
\nMy ways I have beat up kids all by days. I have no friends.
\nIt\u2019s just not right. The mirror said cause you like to fight.
\nI am a bully how could this be. The mirror is starting to
\nChange me. Reflections are now flashing back to me.
\nSomeone plant the seed inside of me. Now the mirror has
\nshown me poor. I\u2019ll change my ways and start
\nnew days the bully is no more part of me.
\nAny bully can change<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine that you are Antonio\u2019s teacher. Antonio obviously wants to make a change. As a fourth grader, it is almost impossible to do this alone. Therefore, he has handed this writing piece to you, his teacher. Understanding that this transformation involves far more than you and Antonio, you will devise a plan to help him change his history and be a good person.<\/p>\n

First, read the Kenny (2007) article and discuss how Antonio\u2019s \u201clooking glass self\u201d has been influenced by the agents of socialization. Be sure to explain how this looking glass self is related to his \u201canswerability\u201d and what role that has in his desire to change his behavior.<\/p>\n

Next, devise a game plan for Antonio’s change:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Share one lesson or activity that can be completed with the whole class. The lesson or activity should focus on the importance of awareness and bully prevention. Describe the lesson or activity and how it will benefit the class as a whole.<\/li>\n
  2. List one idea showing how the class can support Antonio’s change. Explain how you would help your students support their former tormentor.<\/li>\n
  3. List one strategy that you can help Antonio implement in order for him to stay on the right path (e.g., literature, a check list, or a change in routine).<\/li>\n
  4. Provide one suggestion you would share with Antonio’s parents, so that this change in behavior is a true partnership between you (the teacher), the child, and the parents.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
